Our client at Hundred Acre Wood had a once-in-a-lifetime site looking out to Loch Awe and a determination that this project – a home for his extended family – must not be rushed. So the house is shaped by time, the elemental landscape and traditional Scottish architecture, built narrow towards the prevailing winds and broader to face the sun and views south. Terraces, cutaways and openings are sculpted out of the mass, which is coated in a sparkling pebbledash of recycled TV screens. Inside, the plan extends from a central hall, scaled to fit the family’s giant Christmas tree.
